Um...Something happened at college..
Remember when I said I'm in the designing department of some event?
Well....it seems like someone thinks my banner is ugly, and they are replacing it with a new one...T_T

I did cry when I heard the news,...they don't know how important it is to me, it's not just a banner..it's something that boosts up my confidence...but now it's gone..ugh, I feel so useless and embarrassed..

I've set my goals, and I won't give up, but...I need help on this one, how should I feel or do?

Ok, PLEASE try not to become discouraged.

First of all learn from the experience. Remember that a criticism of your work is not the same as a criticism of you. Anything artistic is extremely subjective... so while someone didn't like your banner, it doesn't mean it wasn't any good.

So lose the feelings of uselesness and embarrasment, and be optimistic about other ways in which you can apply your talent.

Yea,...thanks Steel, I'm over it now.
Those compliments I get at the "Express Yourself" section help me alot too.

I'll continue trying my best. Thank you, everyone~ (^ --^)v

Remember it was Albert Einstein who said imagination is more important that intelligence.

Having a good imagination is really one of the few things I pride myself on. I've got no artistic talent, but I'm never bored. A good imagination is what's most needed in most of what makes a society progress: scientists, engineers, architects, writers, musicians, etc. All of them require someone with a good imagination to truly thrive and bring out the best.

Imagine the dull, dreary-eyed, brainwashed mindless zombies slaving away at their jobs who are able to do nothing but replicate what they see that someone else has done?

Why would you want your friend to say you were good at one specific thing anyway? It would be too limiting to yourself. Being just the guy who plays the guitar well, or is good at basketball, it makes you fit into a mold. One which unless you are amazingly gifted in, and can surpass the established masters, you'll always be second chair to.

Be glad you don't have a "gimmick," it let's you be a human being with individuality, and a personality.

Well, if you're good at history, that's a heck of a talent to have. I suck at that.
You can fine a lot of artifacts that's worth millions and millions.
Tried visiting museums, art galleries, collector's conventions.
There's so much histories behind that, and those artifacts just don't show up by themselves.
What do you think the rich and famouse spend their money on that's hanging on thier walls or
sitting in their garage ?

One of my freinds has a talent of digging holes for a living.
It's not pretty but he makes millions as a contractor.

for a while i felt that i had no talents myself. until i found that i have a talent for writing. i like to write stories, and i try to write poetry but most of the time it come out kindof dark.

Speaking of drawing, I found some good free videos on youtube a while ago, they definately helped me... a bit, but I think some of them have a lot useful information I've never heard before and he made them easy to understand, not to mention fun.

I like to draw and I'm pretty much on the same boat of "I just don't have the talent", and I'm probably a lot older than some of you D= but I really adore good looking art and I know how to appreciate other people's, I just hope one day I'd be like other professional artists, so I'm also going to keep trying.

I think everybody got a talent, but if you try something dont give up like immediately, everybody thats good at something will tell you they have (like with drawing) Made a million of drawings, some off them being better then others...try out some stuff, you will find something at the end im sure.

And as you hobby off collecting stuff, aslong you like it, and know where to find all the cute thingies, i see it as a talent.
